    Cliff was so beautifully creative. He had a sound that was proggy, classical, and psychedelic. Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets wouldn't be close to the masterpieces they are without this mans contributions.

      The best comment in here. Why has no one else looked into this? Did cliff come up with songs that Metallica used long after his death? If so what other songs could have some sort of cliff influence?

      I KNOW! It’s extremely mysterious with no direct explanation. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kirk wrote that part in Fixxxer, since he was heavily involved with the Load project.

      Not really, he had the bells riff way before this. Look up Easy Street Cliff Burton. Some sort of small talent show like gig from maybe 1980 and it’s in there. Pretty cool.

      @@jamesb95 this is actually before that video. That video was actually THIS band (Jim, Cliff and Dave) and they decided to mash all their jams into a fifteen minute segment to fuck with people.
      On the first Maxwell cd you pretty much hear Cliff coming up with FWTBT live.

    Sounds kinda like a much more melodic early Throbbing Gristle. Very cool stuff. Totally unique. I've tried to imagine what direction Metallica might have gone in during the 90's if Cliff never died, and I think this tape offers the best insight to what could have been.
    Edit: you can even hear where Lars got the drum sound for St. Anger at 12:34

    My cousin and I would do the same thing as this just lock ourselves in a room and trip out some psychedelic riffs and sounds and beats and was totally unaware that Cliff and some his cohorts kinda did the same thing. I understand Cliff was a fan of the Floyd sound as well so this venture makes total sense.

    In the French magazine “Enfer Magazine” (#26, July 1985), the members of Metallica were asked to give their current playlist at the time.
    Cliff mentioned Misfits, Blue Öster Cult, GBH, Lynyrd Skynyrd among others, and eventually… Maxwell Tapes: “A.D 2,000,000”. I doubt anyone in France and probably very few people in the USA could have guessed what the Maxwell Tapes were back then. :)
    Anyway, “A.D 2,000,000”, whatever it is, isn’t listed here. Any clue, Metallica scholars?

    This is the creepy sound of the pack that made cliff with dark forces in this isolated farm of faith no more guitarist and hearing in his dark danzig chains , because he wanted to chains all of us the innocent and stupid fans to bow in front of him to his supposed talend, only to make him more money and fame. Now the mutilation soul knows what he did to him and to us, hear that unfull noise for iternity chains at that walls.
